Milton Needing Hip Replacement Seeks Disability Grants

Disability Issues

I was in an accident in 1997 when I started my disability and have had to have a lot of doctor visits since. For the last two I have been having trouble with my hip and the doctor stated that I need to have my hip replaced but unfortunately I have not been able to have it done.

Now my hip is at the point where if I can find a doctor to take the risk and replace my hip it will be a wonderful thing. If I do not get a doctor to replace my hip I will not be able to walk.

Before my accident I was the manager of a McDonalds and I drove a truck but now I cannot do any of that.

Financial Hardship

I get $703 a month and here is a summary of my bills. House payment is $203 per month, water bill $35 per month, car insurance $125 per month, electricity bill $250 per month or higher, phone bill $54 per month and the total is $756 which leaves me $53.

I have no money for gas, clothes, shoes or anything that may come up during the month. I need a larger vehicle to get to and from the doctor. Something like a pickup truck or a van.

Income Efforts

I worked for my father before he passed.

I also was driving trucks but my hip got so bad about two years ago I could not do anything.

No one wants to hire this disability man doing what he is used to doing.

Specific Needs

Here is what I need:

• a truck or van to get to and from my doctor appointments• a ramp to get in and out of my house with• enough money to pay all of my household bills• not worrying about having somewhere to live or having electricity turned off

Business Idea

I would like to open a clothing and a shoe boutique. I would like to give the lower income class people a chance to work to get off welfare and food stamps.

I think it is a great idea because people have to wear clothes and shoes all year round and basically until they pass.

I once was the manager of McDonalds for eight years and as a quick learner like myself I feel it would be no problem at all but it is hard work.

Also I would like to give back to my community.
